15th February 1992 Day 210

The Diary
Up early, had the free breakfast and lazed by the pool. Then we walked out into Kuta in search of trainers for Oz and to find the post office. We fought off all the usual traders and survived to get back for a nice relaxing afternoon by the pool. Despite the clouds I managed to get burnt on the arms and shoulders where my vest wasn't covering me. A suntan is no protection. We drank Coke by the bar in the pool and listened to a loud Japanese bloke at the far side.


Later on we ventured back to the beach to see the fabled sunset. Dear Tony Wheeler, it's not much good when there are clouds. We ate at Poppies Restaurant, supposedly the best in Kuta according to Mr Wheeler, and I devoured 1 beef curry, 1 maloprim and 2 chloroquinine. Yummy.


2012
Outside of Aussie surfing and bogan boozy holidays Kuta is famous for two horrible events in 2002 and 2005.
